Thorium Atomics Begins NRC Pre-Application for Tesseract TGR

Thorium Atomics commences NRC pre-application for Tesseract TGR advanced reactor, gaining project number and manager. Learn about this thorium-augmented gas-cooled reactor and its licensing path.

This milestone matters because it signals progress for advanced nuclear technology. By engaging early with the NRC under the new Part 53 framework, Thorium Atomics aims to streamline the licensing process for its innovative thorium-augmented reactor. If successful, the Tesseract TGR could provide clean, firm electricity and high-temperature industrial heat, reducing reliance on fossil fuels for heavy industry and diversifying nuclear fuel supply. This could have significant implications for energy security, decarbonization, and the future of nuclear power.
